1. Can never have too many investigations into steriod use. It effects

so many people, unlike the lies that got us invading Iraq, the fixed elections, the plundering of the treasury. Yes, we need priorities don't we.

2. this ties into Schwarzenegger who vetoed a bill that would

have prevented California high school students and other vulnerable parties from having access to steroids. The governor makes millions promoting and selling these steroids to the public. Waxman is making another valuable contribution to the public good by exposing steroid use and those who promote them. It may not interest you but it is a subject of great interest to a lot of us.

3. Great...

...another Congressional dog-and-pony show full of sound and fury signifying nothing about something that Congress doesn't need to mess around in. This will accomplish absolutely zero.

5. Agreed

A gigantic waste of time. Such a pressing issue on the mind of the country as a whole <SARCASM now turned off>

4. Hmm. I'm thinking we ought to spend our time...

working to keep the GOPhers from destroying Social Security, Medicare, schools, homeland security and just about every other shit for brains thing they're doing. This takes a back seat. Let's keep our priorities straight. Let's not join them in their usual methods of diversion. That's not helpful.
